"There are some who call me... Tim" or Running To Stand Still

Ah bless Monty Python.. always a good way to alleviate a lousy day at the office.

Work in itself wasn't horrendous. To be fair I didn't spend all day at my desk pouring over the lack of news to write about. Instead I spent the majority of my day taking photos of the days events. It was one of those corporate fun day things along the lines of "I'm a Celebrity.." so lots of shots of gunge, gross out events, people eating pigs testicles and hydrated scorpions. 189 photos taken to be exact.

I think what's really getting me down at work is my lack of time off. I've taken about 7 or 8 days of my annual leave but only as single days. I haven't enjoyed a whole week of yet this year. To make it worse that damned Vodafone advert played just before I left for work this morning. The one where the guy keeps trying to meet his girlfriend but everytime he walks in the door he finds himself back at the office. The idea being that work steals all the time for those important moments. I thnk they're right.

This feeling has also timed itself with my desire to push the Orchestra forward and fast. I'm thinking I should take a week off work and get my fellow orchestrators to do the same and spend the week writing and recording. There's enough tunes and ideas now for an e.p at least and I don't want to be sat at my Mac much longer while work continues to steal the best moments from me without my permission.

In other news I ate too much at the BBQ work put on today. I feel I abused it by visiting for burgers twice.

Ah yes, some call me.... Tim:
